While we love summer, we can truly appreciate the cooler days of October that foreshadow fall colors and flavors. When it comes to flowers, many people don’t think of fall as a good season for cut flowers but there are so many gorgeous options for in-season cut flowers this season. Whether for a dining room table centerpiece or just a simple “I’m thinking of you” gift to a loved one, fall is a perfect time for cut flowers.
Here are some highlights with all the gorgeous fall colors we love:
Dahlia – Considered the Peony of the fall, Dahlias are an intricate flower with depth and size that is truly stunning and perfect for fall. With many color and varietals to choose from, make the Dahlia your go to flower for this fall season.
Sunflowers – These big, bold flowers make anyone’s day brighter! They are a perfect choice for creating a warm fall atmosphere or cheering someone up that needs a little extra joy in their day.
Chrysanthemum - Nicknamed mum or Chrysanths, these are a hardy flower with too many varieties and colors to count, making them a beautiful option for fall arrangements. Chrysanthemums make a unique cut flower gift on their own or mixed with more exotic blooms.
Berries – Hypericum berries are a beautiful choice to add fall splendor to any arrangement. Hypericum berries come in red, white, green and pink, so they are a great selection for any color palette.
Textures – Fall is the best time of year to find and incorporate interesting textures into your arrangements. Hunt for pepperberry, bittersweet, grasses, leaves and punks to add visual excitement. Or, wrap some naturally discarded birch bark around your vase and fasten with raffia!
Whatever your reason or occasion this fall, use cut in-season flowers to brighten your day, your event or the life of a loved one!
